4 Key Sweater Styles to Add to Your Fall Rotation, Because Who Doesn't Love Options?

Maybe it's all the robe dressing we've been getting into, but a longer cardigan that could possibly double as a dress feels like a close second to the loungewear we've been loving as of late. Choose a lighter fabric to ease into the transition to cooler months, then embrace a chunky knit to warm up when the chill sets in. Whichever style you pick, the effect is easy-chic at its best.
